Research & Development

Every day, our R&D team works on the (further) development of new and existing products to achieve optimum performance at an ecological and environmentally friendly level.

Schmits believes in innovation

With our own R&D department, we have a wide variety of development and testing possibilities in-house. For example, we have a pilot plant for textile treatment where we can vary the process (from roll to roll) between dot coating, knife over roll, knife over air, foam coating, kiss roll and padding. We have our own MSDS department and are able to provide upscaling support in the form of dispersing equipment/machinery. In addition, we can perform many different types of (indicative) test, such as fire retarding, water and oil repelling, water column and Martindale rating measurement. We enjoy good collaborations with universities, colleges and institutes, in which we participate in various projects, but we also offer students internships and work placements.

We offer efficient and client-oriented technical support for development requests and actively look for targeted tailor-made solutions – always focusing on properties and performance. Because we carry out the development ourselves, from start to finish, we can do this on a short time scale, making samples, technical documentation and MSDS’ quickly available.
